[pdp-discuss] Compile (?) error, 3.2a7 on Linux, Fedora Core 4

[Daniele Cuccovillo]

Hi,
I'm having two problems using the PDP 3.2a7 version. I tried several things 
but I cannot find out the solution by myself. I apologize for my bad 
English, I'll try to be as clear as possible.

First problem: using the programmer's version with binaries compiled by 
myself, I cannot visualize the red check marks on the checkboxes that I 
should use to activate several functions (for example "add noise" in the 
RTUnitSpec, using the rns++ bin). I'm having this problem using all kind of 
executable files. I was able to solve this problem only using the LinuxSTAT 
binaries.

Second problem: very frequently the program crashes (both using precompiled 
and compiled by myself binaries), reporting this error message "PDP++ saving 
recover file(s) and exiting from signal: segmentation violation".
The resulting recover file is always empty. When the segmentation violation 
is reported while I'm trying to save a project, both what should be the 
"normal" saved file and the recover file result empty. The crash happens in 
response to several actions: saving a project,  setting up a new 
specifications, editing something.




The errors reported while compiling the pdp++ are:

while making Makefiles for ta:
< /bin/cp: impossibile fare stat di `/usr/local/pdp++/src/ta/ta_TA.ccx': No 
such file or directory
/bin/cp: impossibile fare stat di `/usr/local/pdp++/src/ta/ta_TA.cc': No 
such file or directory >
(it's impossible to do stat of.. .. )

while making Maketa program:
< echo libtastring.so
libtastring.so
if [ so != a ]; then mv -f lib_include/libtastring.so 
lib_include/libtastring.so.OLD.$$; fi
mv: impossibile fare stat di `lib_include/libtastring.so': No such file or 
directory
make[3]: [libtastring.so] Error 1 (ignored) >

while making the libraries:
< echo libivmisc.so
libivmisc.so
if [ so != a ]; then mv -f lib_include/libivmisc.so 
lib_include/libivmisc.so.OLD.$$; fi
mv: impossibile fare stat di `lib_include/libivmisc.so': No such file or 
directory
make[3]: [libivmisc.so] Error 1 (ignored) >

And so on for the files "libtypea.so", "libivgraphic.so", "libtamisc.so", 
"libcss.so", "libpdp.so", "libpdp_leabra.so", "libpdp_oldlba.so", 
"libpdp_bp.so", "libpdp_cs.so", "libpdp_so.so", "libpdp_bpso.so", 
"libpdp_lstm.so", "libpdp_rns.so".


Moreover I have some warnings:

Please someone could help me in finding out some solution?
